My name is Laura Jeanne and yoga has transformed my life. I've been practicing consistently since 2006 and noticed that over time my mind gained clarity as my body toned and released trauma. It guided me towards a deeper spark of awareness, a sense of peace/joy that lies within that I refer to as spirituality. To serve others I combine my medical expertise, yogic training and life knowledge. This offers a wholistic approach in teaching yoga which includes the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual bodies.
